Hi there! This is my first time posting here, I wanted to share my experience with my gastric sleeve surgery. I was admitted to hospital at 800 surgery started arou d 915 and ended at 1015. Was kept in recovery for about 2 hours. When I finally woke up I was in an amazing amount of pain, I started asking for pain medicine, after I was given the medicine everything went back to normal. I was taken to my room and felt ok exempt for a lot of nauseas, but no pain. On second day I was doing much better . On third day that I was sent home around 9 a,m. I felt incredible, no pain whatsoever , I even went for a brief walk around the block for 20 ,ins . I just wanted to share if in case my experience will help others.

Took me a year to decide on any weight loss procedure..kinda scary but during the lprcess the dietician, doctors n n.p. was great in answering questions..And a week before surgery I found this group..they have been a help telling it like it is..Keep thumbing thru storied to help you get mentally prepare for any possibilities.. Mine was Nice 9 and I had to plan how I take in my liquids to stay on track..good luck to you.

i am really new on this so i do not know how to reply individually. all i can say today is my 4th day post and feel great. i had my gall bladder removed last year and the pain is not even close so i really knew what to expect, no gas pain that was the best part. i think i was just so ready for this , mentally, i had 10 years investigating and for whatosever reason i did not follow thru. this time i was so convinced so determined that it was my time. i have 4 small children all under 7, i knew i had to be at my best for them. today i went again for my 30 mins walk, i can do much more , but i will adhere to my dr's advice since i may no see it or feell my body has a lot of healing to do. i stopped yesterday pain medication and even drove to a near location without problem. i am really determined to think that it was all mentally, i went to my admission at the hosipiatl so happy, never did i have a doubt. blessing to all

I was sleeved November 1. I made the decision for the surgery mid-summer and started the process.

I had a fantastic surgeon. I had a minimum of pain afterward, only taking pain meds for 1 day.

I returned to work last Monday. My challenges are really knowing when I am full and getting enough Protein in. I know it's early and I will get there. I've lost 18.5 lbs since surgery.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
